The cutting edge SaeboGlove helps clients suffering from neurological and orthopaedic injuries incorporate their hand functionally in therapy and everyday tasks at home. The tension system extends the users fingers and thumb following grasping, and can be easily adjusted as required. The lightweight, low-profile functional design allows comfortable wear and usage throughout the day.

Features:

• Spiral forearm design that secures the wrist in a functional position.
• Tensioners are located at the IP joints (interphalangeal joint) of the fingers and thumb to assist with extending the digits following grasping.
• Individual Tensioners can be removed to customize assistance based on the client’s needs.
• Numerous-sized Tensioners included to accommodate various finger lengths.
• Full joint finger motion possible to maximize functional performance.
• Silicone-covered finger tips to improve traction during grasping.
• Non-slip liner to minimize migration.
• Glove includes Lycra material for expandability.
• Palm exposed to increase breathability and ease of donning.
• Lightweight and comfortable.

Indications:

• The SaeboGlove is designed for both individuals that have experienced a neurological injury such as stroke as well as orthopaedic injuries such as radial nerve palsy.
• Users that demonstrate arm and hand weakness (wrist drop/unable to open hand) and are unable to use their hand to perform everyday tasks are great candidates for this device.
• The onset of the injury does not prevent someone from using the SaeboGlove. Whether the user just had a stroke or orthopaedic injury, or if he or she suffered an injury years ago, the SaeboGlove can be of great benefit.
• In order to qualify for the SaeboGlove, users must be able to close or squeeze their hand minimally. In addition, users must have minimal to no tightness or spasticity in the fingers or wrist.

You may not be appropriate for the SaeboGlove if you exhibit one or more of the below:

• Severe joint deformities in the hand or elbow.
• Significant arthritis.
• Mild-moderate tightness/spasticity or greater in the hand or elbow.
• Moderate or severe swelling in the hand.
• Open wounds.
• Unable to follow basic commands.
